I'm new to Javascript. Why isn't this code working? I just want it to do a simple calculation. I haven't taken any classes, and I don't understand books very well. I looked at other codes, and mine looks like it should work (that is how i learn, i have to know what i did wrong after doing, not just being thrown a bunch of code in a book) can anyone help me?

c=(a+b)*(4.35)
form.ans.value = c
}
// End -->
